I always wondered this. Why would they? During last Christmas (my first visit to London), I was wondering where everyone was, and was curious to know if there was an event being held somewhere, so I tried to phone my friend who is a local, but I didn't get any signal. Then I ran into one of those old school phone booths and tried to call from there, since it was cracked open anyway. Surprisingly, the phone didn't even work, but at least the lighting inside was nice and blinding. Then, the phone just started making this loud, repeated wooshing sound instead of a dial tone. Irritated, I just stormed out and walked home. On the way, I noticed there were like two people on the streets. One was some old guy in a news stand and the other some whack job that ran around pointing his glow stick everywhere. London is fucking weird, but I don't get why it isn't popular during this time.

I've asked that about Angel Grove. They know that gigantic monsters are going to come destroy their city every Monday at 4pm. Literally, buildings and city blocks getting consistently destroyed. They have like, a weekly 9/11 yet people stay.

This also begs the questions, why do they keep attacking these cities knowing that the heroes live there?

I live about half an hour outside of Detroit... I'll admit 99% of Detroit is an absolute shithole and anyone who caused it should be ashamed of what they have done to a once beautiful city. However, there are some parts of Detroit that genuinely are a nice place to go and not all the people their are gangbanging thugs... Most are... but not all. I hate the stereotype Detroit is given by the media and because of that people who have never been there assume everything and everyone is a horrible person... My father grew up closer to the city and always tells me stories of the city from the time it was a place to be proud of... The negative stigma of the city is what keeps everyone away and is why people continue to destroy the city... And it is the unemployment that keeps people from leaving... They simply have no choice but to stay and because of a lack of schools in the city, children grow up to become criminals contributing further to the demise of the city...

TL;DR Purple elephants roam the streets of Baton Rouge in search of cocaine to snort for their own pleasure.

My grandpa lived in Detroit in the 40s and 50s after he got back from WWII, and said it was an amazing place to live. Then he bought a lot of land ~25 miles north and started a farm, never looked back.

Baltimore has good weather, water, crabs, and several nice parts of the city. Also the Ravens and Orioles, and one of the top rated hospitals in America. The city isn't dying, it just has a lot of violence and shit to sort through.

If everyone in Gotham moved the villains would follow. Or at the very least move to nearby crowded cities. Superhero villains follow the population in order to continue spreading chaos. The people of Gotham already know moving would be pointless.

The people of gotham need not fall to me. I merely ask that they be left to their own devices, free from certain vigilantes imposing morality upon them. If the people of gotham are as good as you say, they won't need a hero.

YOUR VISION OF FREEDOM IS CLOUDED BANE. PEOPLE NEED ORDER, PEOPLE NEED GOVERNMENT. IF LEFT TO THEIR OWN DEVICES THE PEOPLE WITH GUNS RULE, AND YOUR PEOPLE HAVE THE GUNS NOW. I MUST STOP YOU, GOTHAM MUST STOP YOU.

Ironic, considering that without guns YOU have decided the fate of gotham numerous times. The people don't need a hero. The people don't want a hero. They hunt you because they fear your oppression. You will not stop me because they will stop you!

In Nolan's Batman, there are no other heroes. No super powered people like Super Man or Wonder Woman exist. Bruce is probably the first guy to try to become a hero. He has the training and money to do it.
